News – New regulation found after the CAMbrella deliveries:

“Osteopathy is neither recognized nor prohibited and can be practised by different people with different professional qualifications, with or without medical background and training” (25).

“It is legally unclear if osteopathy represents a ‘specialisation’ of medical-scientific professions (e.g. doctor, physiotherapist) or if it is an ‘independent’ treatment method”. According to the current legal status, the practise of osteopathy (as mechano therapeutic measure of patient treatment) by doctors and physiotherapists is possible” (25).

Osteopathy might still be governed by Austria’s general regulation of CAM, which you can read about here.
